Two English Versions by LACY LOCKERT, A.M., Ph.D.
THE BEST PLAYS OF
RACINE Translated into English Rhyming Verse with an
Introduction and Notes Demy 8vo. I3s. 6d. net
Racine, the greatest of French tragic dramatists, is, in the judgement of his own countrymen, the equal of Moliere in magnitude of genius and achievement. The present versions of his four best plays (Andromaque, Britannicus, Phedre and Athalie) seek to make him better known to English and American readers.
It is hoped that the rhymed verse here employed will bring out the characteristics of the original better than the occasional blank verse renderings of his plays which have appeared in the past. "...His translation of the 'four best plays' into decasyllabic couplets is a monument of ingenuity, a scholarly attempt to render line by line the sense and substance of the original. .." Times.
THE INFERNO OF DANTE
Translated into English Terza Rima Verse with an Introduction and Notes
Demy 8vo. I s. 6d. net The purpose of this volume is to provide English readers with a translation of the Inferno that shall ap- proach more closely the form and spirit of the original than the versions so far relied upon by those whose knowledge of Italian is insufficient for a competent reading of the original. "...This version has individual excellencies which we have not observed in others...." New rork Times.
